I met Joe Scarborough at Clinton Global Initiative meeting in 2011. (I was CEO of disaster response organization then.) He was there to interview Bill Clinton and other VIPs on his morning show. He’s “in the club.”
I have been a conservative since as a teenager I was awakened from my slumber listening to Ronald Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing Speech” ... I went on to read William F. Buckley, Hayek, Human Events, National Review et al. Against the radical left I encountered in the late 1960’s, a like minded friend and I helped to found Young Americans for Freedom in Pittsburgh, PA. I have been a staunch constitutional conservative ever since. I love Free Republic and have enjoyed reading the posts and responses for over 10 years. A liberal friend sent me the article I posted earlier today. I had planned to engage in the interactions but something came up unexpectedly at work right after I posted and I had to get to there much earlier than planned.
